Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

While he is a billionaire, I am pretty sure he is the most progressive person running which just shows the state of things.

This is a race with progressive darling Katie Porter and Green Party candidate Butch Ware, and they're choosing to endorse a billionaire?!?!

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

That makes these leagues worse imo. They need to be pushing Katie Porter. Hell, any progressive that's not one of the rich fucks ruining the place.

There's no way to ethically become a billionaire

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 8 points 2 days ago

Winning the lotto maybe. Staying a billionaire is different.

Maybe inherit it? Like Elon has less kids than he has billions. Some really don't like him. And should he die and somehow there was no will. A few could inherit a billion... but probably not.

If 500 million people give you $2...

[–] Akh@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Yeah, they did that with some fucking kardashian… not ethical

It's not like leftists haven't been trying to tell anyone.

Makes sense only billionaires can afford to live in California.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I live in California and I can assure you I'm not a billionaire I'm a hundredaire.

[–] Akh@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh, look at mr. Moneybags over here

[–] thorhop@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

With his fancy bus pass and a once a week opulence of having pinto beans instead of brown beans with his rice. Smh.

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Dammit, he’s a billionaire… I thought he did the best in this piece on homelessness
